And I have to take the wish bone mount off from the driver side in order to get the transmission mount correct?

[DIYautotech]

@AT092 Yes, just unbolt it from one side.

What will happen if I don't lift the car up or don't lift the engine up to replace the engine mount on the passenger side?

[DIYautotech]

@AT092 The engine will most likely rip the dog mounts & destroy the trans mount because it will sag right into the frame.  You must have the engine supported while doing this job otherwise you will not be able to re-install a new motor mount. Trust me!

@DIYautotech And when reinstalling it you have to get the jack set at perfect height or the bolt wont go through... took prolly 20 minutes to get that damn thing through!

[DIYautotech]

@miniwarrior7 Actually it takes no time at all, you just have to use a little trick. Leave the two bolts holding the tranny mount to the transmission "slightly" loosened. So when you lower the assembly down onto the chassis, the tranny mount will slightly torque in whichever way it needs to fit down into the hole. Once there you can tighten it all down.
